MBARI’s innovative EyeRIS camera system collects near real-time three-dimensional visual data about the structure and biomechanics of marine life. Filming deep-sea pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) with this system has provided

Map of the IRAS 16293-2422 region from publicly available APEX data presented in Kahle et al. 2023, where the colormap is N2H + (3-2) at 279.511 GHz and the cyan

Thousands of exoplanets orbit nearby stars, showcasing a remarkable diversity in mass, size and orbits. With the James Webb Space Telescope now operational, we are observing exoplanet atmospheres and aiming

Stellar flares observed in JWST/NIRISS time-series spectroscopy of TRAPPIST-1. Each column shows one flare event during transits of the TRAPPIST-1c or TRAPPIST-1f planets. Tow row: Light curves with the total

Snapshots of a cross-sectional slice of a head-on collision between a non-rotating Venus and a 0.1 M⊕ impactor at 10 km s−1 . shown at multiple time steps. Initial energy

Ground-based light curves from LCOGT, KeplerCam, and MUSCAT2. The colored data points correspond to the binned data at 5 minute cadence. The solid black line is the median model from

χ2 maps for HCN, CO2 + 13CO2, C6H6, C2H4, C2H6, CH4, and water. The color scale shows the χ2min/χ22 . The best fit model (χ2 min/χ2 = 1) is marked

This image shows the Alpha Centauri star system from several different ground- and space-based observatories: the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS), the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb
